Abstract
A process for separating particles from mixtures containing the particles is disclosed. An adoptive transfer therapy process wherein mononuclear cells are separated from a mixture of blood cells by the process is also disclosed. The process comprises supporting the mixture in a centrifuge chamber; subjecting the chamber to a centrifugal force; and forcing a displacing fluid through the chamber, against the centrifugal force, thereby separating the preselected particles from the mixture. The process is further characterized in that the displacing fluid has a density greater than or equal to the density of the preselected particles.
